managed to sort it out. i asked a mechanic in the local bike retailers and he told me to raise the caliper above my head to get the resistance in the leaver. once i had resistance in the leaver it was pretty easy from there. thanks anyway.

on the 4th pump theres just no resistance whatsoever. so by the fully in position do you mean after it has taken away the resistance by opening the nipple? thanks for your help.

dont know if anyone knows how to pressurise the front brake. basically some numb nuts over tightened the fixing on my front caliper and threaded the pin so ive since had it helicoiled to save cash on buying a new caliper. so far ive refitted the caliper and the hose to the correct torques that i found in my haynes manual. ive bled the hose and and made sure theres no air in the system. i was told to put a clear pipe on the nipple so you can see the air which has been done. ive then closed the nipple and pumped the brake for ages re-opened and closed the nipple and pumped again. i cant find any leaks anywhere but i just cant get it pressurise... HELP ME!
